Also, request a waiver on the maintenance fee if bearing is the issue on a brand new reel. Food for thought. Best maybe to talk this through with River's End. Hate to see you taking a long trip without knowing some of the options associated with fall fishing.
I am definitely leaning that way since it is very usable and River's End will most likely fix while I wait - probably for no $$$ I would expect. VS in Okie said that if I mail it in it will only be a 2 day turnaround time since it is under warranty for the first year. Things could be much worse... Just glad I still have a dunkable and functioning reel for October. It's good to have some options.
